Episode CLXXIV: (Stuck at) Home for Christmas

This year we found ourselves in an unusual situation for Christmas: stuck at home, in Texas. 


Instead of hanging out with friends and family in other states, we had to devise new ways to celebrate with just the three of us. 

One way of celebrating was by visiting nearby Christmas themed drive-through extravaganzas. Here was one housed in the parking garage for the Dallas Mavericks' arena.

And another way out in the middle of nowhere (Athens, TX).


We visited a lights extravaganza at Downtown Dallas' symphony hall & opera house, and were treated to miniature golf with glowing golf balls.


We were also treated to some nice local decorations, such as this ginormous Santa down the road from us. 


One evening a pickup truck with a Christmas caroling quartet in the truck bed came through our neighborhood.


On the big day itself, some of the gift highlights included: matching exercise mats....


A giant piano...



And lots & lots of Meg & Elliot's favorite snack.
